Observed stationary sphere while photographing chemtrails

On Dec 23, 2005 at 1:36 in the afternoon, I looked out my window and noticed an unusually vast number of straight patterned white "chemtrails" blanketing an otherwise clear bright sky.  There were minimal natural cloud formations.  
I used my 5.0 megapixel Minolta digital camera to photograph the trails as well as at least 3 high altitude jets leaving the vast linear pattern of chemtrails. The planes were flying from E. to W.  
Also, I observed what I thought was a daytime star which was unusually vivid.  Not having a great deal of celestial interest (or knowledge), I didn't think much of it and focussed on the chemtrails.  
I took several photos of the chemtrails and downloaded them to my computer.  When I zoomed in on the "planet" it turned out to be a sphere with highlights and shading.  I did not take particular note of how long it was present in the early afternoon sky but I did remember that it was in a fixed position for at least a few minutes.
I would be more than happy to send any or all of the photos I took that day.
We suspect that those "chemtrails" were, in fact, contrails.  PD
